I am considering installing a GeForce GTX 670MX into my Alienware M15X laptop. I am wondering, though, would the one I am looking at purchasing be compatible with my current motherboard? This is the one I am currently looking at:

That thread is very helpful indeed! However, the GTX 670MX I am looking to purchase (the one in the link I posted) doesn't look very similar to the person's GTX 670MX in the thread you sent me. The one I am looking to purchase states it's for "Clevo", and to my knowledge, Clevo manufactures computers.
 
The physical layout of gpu cards will vary from one manufacturer to the next. The placement of parts on the board may differ, but the card itself will have the same pinouts and mounting capabilities.

I believe the card you are looking at will be compatible with your laptop.
